Finally, Kong Huaijin leaned breathlessly against Zhou Yi's shoulder, her chest rising and falling with each labored breath.
Zhou Yi turned his head slightly, a faint smile flickering in his eyes.
"Sis, are you all right?" he asked softly, his voice tinged with concern yet laced with amusent.
"No wonder they say n are born knowing how to kiss," she murmured, biting her lower lip as if savoring the mory. "How did you get so good at it so quickly..."
Kong Huaijin wrapped her arms around Zhou Yi's arm, leaning closer with an affectionate smile. "So... do you like kissing ?"
Zhou Yi nodded shyly, his cheeks flushing ever so slightly. "Yeah... I do. Sis's lips are soft, and they sll nice too."
Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled warmly. "Then, what about dating ? Would that work?"
Zhou Yi hesitated, his brow furrowing with worry. "I'm afraid this might just be a passing thought for you. You're so amazing, and there are so many n who admire you. I'm just an ordinary college student. What if you lose interest in after a few days? A woman's heart can change so easily."
Kong Huaijin could understand his concerns. After all, they had only known each other for a short ti. Was it just a surge of hormones, or was it sothing deeper? Perhaps they needed more ti together to give their connection a real chance.
She gave him a gentle smile. "Alright then, let's start as friends first."
Zhou Yi nodded, though a hint of unease still lingered in his expression. "That's fine, but I'm worried your father might think I'm being intentional..."
Kong Huaijin waved off his concern with a laugh. "Don't worry about that. My dad actually wishes I'd settle down sooner rather than later. He even ntioned last ti that he really admires you. Trust , he won't mind."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi finally relaxed, a soft smile spreading across his face. "That's good to hear."
Later, the two left the bench, and Zhou Yi began taking photos of Kong Huaijin with his phone. So were candid shots, while others were carefully frad, but every single one captured her beauty perfectly. When she stood on the grass playing with a bubble machine, she looked like a carefree young lady, completely at ease. In the lens, she appeared radiant and serene, surrounded by giggling children—a scene brimming with warmth and charm.
Kong Huaijin had never seen herself this way before. As she flipped through the photos Zhou Yi had taken, she couldn't stop smiling. Each image seed to highlight a different facet of her personality, making her feel beautiful in ways she hadn't imagined.
Next, Zhou Yi took her on a roller coaster—a first-ti experience for her. Midway through the ride, she closed her eyes in terror. Sensing her fear, Zhou Yi shouted from beside her, "If you're scared, scream it out!"
Kong Huaijin joined the chorus of screams echoing through the air. The thrill of the ride was exhilarating, and she found herself laughing uncontrollably despite her initial fright. By the ti they stepped off, her legs felt weak, but her laughter was infectious. Zhou Yi steadied her as she crouched on the ground, giggling uncontrollably.
"That was so much fun..." she gasped between laughs, her eyes sparkling with excitent. "I felt like my whole body was flying out of the seat! It was as if my soul left my body for a mont—haha!"
Her eyes shone brightly, filled with tiny fragnts of light. In that mont, she had shed her usual poised deanor, appearing relaxed and natural.
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Want to go again?"
She shook her head vigorously, waving her hands in protest. "No way! Not today. If I ride it again, I'll dream about roller coasters all night!"
Chuckling, Zhou Yi suggested they try the carousel instead. Though Kong Huaijin wasn't particularly interested, she didn't refuse since he had proposed it. Little did she know, Zhou Yi's true intention was to take even more photos of her.
He guided her onto the carousel, choosing a seat behind her. "Look at ," he instructed gently.
"Smile, Sis," he added, snapping photo after photo.
"This one's gorgeous," he said, glancing at the screen.
"Absolutely stunning."
"You look better than any model, Sis."
Lost in his stream of complints, Kong Huaijin felt her heart flutter. In the final minute of the ride, Zhou Yi moved from his horse to sit beside her. Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he held up his phone next to her cheek. "Let's take a selfie together, Sis."
Through the lens, she wore bunny ears, while Zhou Yi sported bear ears. They looked like a real couple, playful and in love. But the best part ca when Zhou Yi handed her the phone. "I've taken plenty of photos of you today, Sis. Why don't you take our selfie this ti?"
Kong Huaijin accepted the phone, smiling at the cara. At the sa ti, Zhou Yi tilted his face slightly to gaze at her, his eyes filled with warmth and devotion—as if she were the only person in the world. That focused, heartfelt look made her press the shutter button without hesitation.
This photo would beco her favorite—not because it was the most flattering, but because of the emotion and atmosphere captured within it.
After stepping off the carousel, the way Kong Huaijin looked at Zhou Yi had changed. Her affection level for him had risen significantly, reaching 80.
So people fall in love slowly, like water trickling over stones. Others' love ignites fiercely, like wildfire sweeping across a plain. While Kong Huaijin's feelings for Zhou Yi weren't exactly love at first sight, they had grown rapidly nonetheless.
As they left the amusent park, she still seed reluctant to part. Catching her lingering smile, Zhou Yi teased, "We can co back anyti you want."
Her eyes sparkled with undisguised affection. "It's only because I'm with you that I want to co."
Opening the car door, she slid into the sports car. "Let's go. Take to your company."
When they arrived at Huanyu, two handso security guards greeted them enthusiastically. "Good afternoon, Mr. Zhou."
Walking past them, Kong Huaijin raised an eyebrow playfully. "Wow, your company hires security guards based on looks?"
"Well, we already have security in the building," Zhou Yi explained with a shrug. "I hired them more as mascots—to make the place look pleasant. Besides, happy employees an a happier workplace."
"The female employees here must be thrilled," Kong Huaijin remarked wryly.
Inside, a pair of beautiful twin receptionists greeted them warmly. Kong Huaijin added with a smirk, "Looks like the male employees here are pretty lucky too. Maybe I should take so notes to boost employee happiness at my own company."
Together, they entered the office. All the employees turned to greet Zhou Yi as he walked in.
"Mr. Zhou."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Zhou."
"Welco back, Mr. Zhou."
Over the past few days, the employees had co to realize that Zhou Yi was not just a capable boss but also approachable and kind-hearted. Their smiles were genuine, reflecting their respect and admiration for him.
Watching this, Kong Huaijin glanced at Zhou Yi again. So, the rumors that Huanyu was a paradise for workers weren't exaggerated? If Zhou Yi didn't treat his employees well, they wouldn't act this way.
Just then, Jiang Ruolan erged from her office, drawn by the commotion. Seeing Kong Huaijin standing beside Zhou Yi, her expression darkened slightly, a sense of foreboding settling in her heart.
Why was the young lady of the Kong family here?
